Epic poems have many characteristics. There is a "hero" who is important and has a significant ability or characteristic. There is usually a supernatural aspect, a villain of some kind, and an overlying theme.
There are also several technical aspects. The poet is usually objective, there is repetition in the wording, and an extended speech made by the "hero" is featured at some point.
World literature usually is the study which explores the different realms of culture and their norms. From these cultures, norms and everday experiencces literature is born and conceived which people write, tell and pass to the next generation. Thus, we discover them by their relativism.
In this world literature, it is about the ancients.
It seems to me that, it's about a family with somewhat dysfunctional dynamics that irresponsibly places their child at risk.
